Proverbs 16:6-7

Proverbs 16:6-7 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil. 7When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him (KJV).

Reflection

Love conquers hate. At Calvary, it looked like hate won over God's love. The empty tomb proved that God's love triumphed over hate.

Marches, letter-writing campaigns, and court challenges might be required to win human rights and legal protection. The hearts of the straight community will be won not by our legal action or our political pressure. Those hearts will be won when we show love for ourselves, for our partners, and for straight people, even straight people who are afraid of us.
